Chapter 2609: Unfair Treatment

Everybody fixed their gaze on the Talent Gong and Su Mo, who was placing his hands on it.


No one felt that Su Mo could pa.s.s the test. Out of the few hundred thousand disciples in Palmy Branch, only a few hundred disciples had managed to sound such an advanced Talent Gong.


Under normal circ.u.mstances, such an advanced Talent Gong would not be used to recruit disciples.


They would only use it to test the disciples for another round when they had discovered some talented disciples.


Thus, n.o.body felt that Su Mo could pa.s.s the test.


Dong!


Suddenly, there was a deep resonance from the Gong and it filled the area.


The deep resonance resounded continually in everybody’s ears.


The disciples widened their eyes and stared at Su Mo in amazement. They had not expected Su Mo to be able to sound the Talent Gong!


Wu Shan has such amazing talent!


Elder Due Yue and Xiao Yushu were taken aback, and their faces darkened instantly. It was especially so with Xiao Yushu, and he looked extremely unhappy.


He had wanted Wu Shan to fail the test and leave Palmy City but Wu Shan had pa.s.sed even the more difficult test!


I didn’t expect him to possess such great talent! Xiao Yushu was furious. It was rare to find such a talent in Palmy Branch as it was difficult to sound the advanced Gong. Although Wu Shan’s talent was inferior to his, it was impressive enough.


“Am I considered to have pa.s.sed the admission test?” Su Mo turned around and smiled at Xiao Yushu and Elder Du Yue.


Although the two of them had tried to make things difficult for him to prevent him from pa.s.sing the test, they could not deny the fact that he had succeeded.


Xiao Yushu was silent. When he saw the proud look on Su Mo’s face, he was filled with anger.


“Congratulations! You have pa.s.sed the test. You can join the Palmy Branch!” Elder Du Yue said. He could not insist that Su Mo had failed the test when so many pairs of eyes had witnessed it. Thus, he had to accept the outcome.


“Thank you, elder!” Su Mo cupped his fist at Elder Du Yue. Finally, he is allowed to stay on!


“Elder Du Yue, please see to the arrangement!” Xiao Yushu told Elder Du Yue. He glanced at Su Mo and flung his sleeve before he left.


Xiao Yushu had the intention to drive Wu Shan out. However, Wu Shan had pa.s.sed the test and that irritated him.


However, Xiao Yushu could do nothing about it. Although he held a high status, he had to obey the rules. His Teacher, Reverend Jin Wu, was a righteous man and he would reprimand him if he learnt that he had deliberately driven Wu Shan out.


However, Xiao Yushu was not the least bit worried. Wu Shan was a n.o.body and he would drive him out in the future.


When Elder Du Yue saw that Xiao Yushu had left grumpily, he sighed. He felt guilty for not being of any help to Xiao Yushu.


“Wu Shan, from now on you are a disciple of Palmy Branch!”


Elder Du Yue said as he tapped on Su Mo’s forehead with his finger. Su Mo was taken aback but was unable to stop him.


A small rune appeared on Su Mo’s forehead and it disappeared into his flesh.


Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw it. That was not a means to manipulate him. It was merely a symbol and it would not affect him in any way.


With the rune in him, Su Mo felt that everyone who was around him possessed the same rune. Even though the disciples might not have known one another, they would know that they were fellow disciples due to the rune.


However, only those who were near them could sense the rune as the feeling was faint. If they were far away, they would not be able to sense it.


“There are some empty houses on the west side of the city, near the border of the city wall. You can go and choose a house to live in!” Elder Du Yue said.


“Yes!” Su Mo replied with a nod.


“The rules of Ancient Cloud Star Alliance and Palmy Branch are recorded here. Go back and read up.” Elder Du Yue said as he handed Su Mo a white Jade Slip.


“Thank you, elder!” Su Mo thanked Elder Du Yue as he took the Jade Slip from him.


“Go!” Elder Du Yue said as he waved his hand.


Su Mo nodded. He turned around and walked out of the Palmy Examinations Center.


As the disciples watched Su Mo departing, they had conflicting feelings. Wu Shan is highly talented and he has a high cultivation level. However, he has been treated unfairly!


The admission test that he has gone through is tougher than usual and rightfully, Elder Du Yue should have given him the rewards for pa.s.sing the test.


However, Elder Du Yue has only given Wu Shan a Jade Slip without any rewards and that is leaving him out in the cold!



After Su Mo had left Palmy Examinations Center, he arrived alone on the west side of the city. It was a remote area where not many people were residing. Basically, the disciples with lower cultivation levels were residing in that part of the city.


However, Su Mo was happy with the arrangement as it would save him a lot of trouble.


Soon, he came to the border and found many buildings near the city wall. There were courtyards, garrets, and small palaces.


The buildings were run down and there were no signs or inscriptions on the doors. Apparently, those buildings were vacant.


Su Mo walked into a small courtyard that had a radius of 66 meters.


The courtyard was plain and simple. There was a stone table with four seats and three empty rooms.


Apparently, the courtyard had been left vacant for a long period of time as thick layers of dust were found in the courtyard and rooms.


Su Mo cleaned up the courtyard and it was a simple task for him. He merely had to wave his sleeve and all the dust was gone.


Following that, he carved the words Wu Mansion on a signboard and hung it over the door. That was an indication that the courtyard belonged to him.


After Su Mo was done with the tasks, he took a good look at the courtyard and found an array that had been set up. The Array Base was located in one of the rooms. Once he placed the Dawn Stones in the Array Base, the array would be activated.


However, Su Mo could not activate the array as he did not have any Dawn Stones with him.


He simply sat cross-legged in the room and started to work on his cultivation.


Su Mo had an important task on hand. He had to enhance his cultivation level as he had the desire to return to the Cosmic World.


He was not in a hurry to deal with Di Yihun as he could do so after he became more powerful.


He had to deal with Tuoba Qingyun and Zi Xiao quickly as he did not have much time left.


Since Su Mo and Di Yihun had left the Cosmic World, Tuoba Qingyun would become invincible. He would advance to the Advanced Supreme Being Realm after 100 years.


A few years later, he could move on to the Supreme Realm and become a master.


Since Su Mo’s family and friends were in the Cosmic World, they would be in great danger once Tuoba Qingyun became a master.


No one could vouch that Tuoba Qingyun would not capture Su Mo’s family and friends so that he could deal with Su Mo if he were to return to the Cosmic World.


Secondly, Su Mo had not seen Zi Xiao for a long period of time. Su Mo had no idea of where Zi Xiao was hiding in the Cosmic World. Qian Xunyue needed him in order to be resurrected and that could not be further delayed.


Unless Su Mo could find someone who possessed the Life-and-Death Primordial Spirit in Cloud Ridge World who was well versed in the Life-and-Death Rule.


Su Mo started to devour the Energy in Palmy City and he found that it was richer than in the outside world. Although he was devouring it at a slow pace, the effects were good.


Time pa.s.sed quickly and soon, more than half a year was gone.. Su Mo’s cultivation level progressed rapidly and he was about to reach Rank 8 Advanced True G.o.d Realm.
